I thought everyone in the area would appreciate this. I hope nobody minds me posting this on the genealogy site.

Subject: Local Call



After the crash of flight 93 with the heros overtaking the terrorists and the
successful rescue of our miners in Quecreek, Pennsylvania, this seems to be
appropriate. More so for those of us who lived in PA and close to both
sites.

A man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches around the
country. He started by flying to San Francisco, and started working east from
there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making
notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued
with a sign which read "$10,000 a minute.." Seeking out the pastor he asked
about the phone.
The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to
Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit
churches in Seattle, Austin, Michigan, Chicago, Milwaukee, and all around the
United States, he found more phones, with the same sign, and got the same
answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Somerset, Pennsylvania. Upon entering a church in this
Southwestern section of Pennsylvania, behold, he saw the usual golden
telephone. But THIS time, the sign read"Calls: 25 cents.
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor. "Reverend, I have been in cities
all across the country and in each church, I have found this golden telephone
and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to get
God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign
reads 25 cents a call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling, replied, "Son, you're in Pennsylvania now.
This is God's country...it's a local call."
